Pope County District Court Judge Don Bourne set bail at $1 million a piece for two murder suspects Monday morning during felony bond hearings at the Pope County Detention Center.

James Anthony Gould, 33, and Ashley Nicole Ojeda, 24, were both arrested in Dallas on Aug. 29 for their alleged involvement in the burglary that led to the murder of Randal Boykin, 26, at his home on Aug. 26 at 1305 N. Greenwich Ave.

James Gould admitted to having two prior felony convictions in Kentucky during bond hearings Monday.

Gould and Ojeda are scheduled to appear in Pope County Circuit Court on Oct. 22.

According to court documents, Russellville police officers responded the residence where they found Boykin shot. He was transported to Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center and was later pronounced dead of gunshot wounds to the head.

According to the case file, a witness who observed the incident from the roof of a nearby apartment he was making repairs, said he saw two males walk to Boykin’s front door wearing red bandannas over their faces. The witness said the men knocked and then pushed their way in through the door, only to be chased out by Boykin.

Boykin was shot by one of the masked men in the driveway. The witness stated he got down from the roof and saw a suspect with a duffel bag, and upon seeing the witness, the suspect pointed the gun at him and asked if he “wanted some” and then fled.

A second witness told police officers he saw a black man with a goatee wearing black clothes run west on M Street — approximately half a block from the crime scene — directly after the shooting and get into a silver SUV. About 15-20 seconds after the SUV left, a black male carrying a duffel bag and a pistol ran west through his neighbor’s yard and then ran between houses on the west side of Frankfurt Avenue.

Police found the duffel bag, a blue and white checkered long sleeve shirt, a red bandanna, a camouflaged winter hat with fur lining and a .40 caliber S&W semi-automatic pistol and a black 9mm Taurus semi-automatic pistol in a brush line behind one of the homes. Approximately six pounds of marijuana, worth approximately $4,800 was found inside the duffel bag.

Two of the suspects, Leondre T. Gould, 18 and Detaryus Tyrell Henderson (Gould’s son), 17, were apprehended on Aug. 28. Leondre Gould was issued a $800,000 bond and Henderson was issued a $600,000 bond.

Henderson confessed during an interview to being involved in the crime and told investigators that Ojeda helped to plan the robbery. Ojeda was discovered to be the current boyfriend of James Gould and to share a child with the deceased, Boykin.

Henderson said he heard Ojeda tell James Gould that she would go to Boykin’s house on the day of the murder and check how many people were there. On the day of the crime, Henderson rode with James and Leondre Gould in his aunt’s silver SUV to Boykin’s neighborhood.

The file states, “Henderson said the two (James and Leondre Gould) exited the vehicle and proceeded on foot toward the victim’s house for the purpose of stealing marijuana.”

Henderson told investigators he drove his aunt’s SUV down M Street and picked up Leondre Gould, who was running from the scene.
